How do you use electricfan?

The motor has a coil of wire that is an electromagnet. This causes the motor to spin, turning the fan blades.


What is the main difference between an electric motor and electric generator?

An electric generator converts mechanical energy to electric energy while a motor converts electric energy to mechanical. A generator can actually act as a motor if it losses whatever is making it spin (called "motoring"), which is usually a very bad thing. Motors may be used as generators as well, depending on their design.


What converts electricity to mechanical power?

In a modern coal fired power plant the mechanical motion of turbines is transferred by a shaft to a generator, where magnets spin within wire coils to produce electricity


How do you calculate the rpm of a motor with a known number of poles and a frequency of 60 Hrtz?

A synchronous motor will spin at the system frequency. 60 Hz translates into 60*60 = 3600 direction changes per minute. If this is a two pole motor (one north and one south), it will spin 1 rotation per direction change. If it is a four pole motor (two north and two south), it will spin 1/2 rotation per direction change. If this is an induction motor, it will spin at a frequency slightly less than an equivalent synchronous motor; this frequency difference is referred to as slip.


How to build a Rotary phase converter?

A simple Rotary phase converter is just a motor generator set. An electric motor running on the input voltage/current/phase/frequency. it drives a generator that supplies a different voltage/current/phase/frequency. So an electric motor and an electric generator connected together mechanically, either on the same shaft, or via gears, constitutes a Rotary phase converter. the above is incorrect, the motor/generator is the same motor, just one 3 phase motor is needed, it will run on T1 and T2, and put out L1, L2, and L3. You just need to know how to wire it up and what to do to get it to spin over on simple single phase 220, it will create three phase 220.

What has to occur for an electric motor to spin freely?

In order for an electric motor to spin freely you will have to make sure you have one thing. You have to have the electric current for the motor to run freely.

What are fans powered by?

Most fans have an electric motor that runs off of electricity. These use magnetization to spin the fan


How do you store the 30 volts produced from spinning an electric motor?

A motor can be connected up to a car battery to store the power produced when it runs as a generator, but you will find that when current is drawn the motor needs more work to spin it, it will not spin so easily. That is because of conservation of energy.


What are the parts of elecric fan?

You need, a electric motor, a power source (battery), blades or propeller to attactach tot he motor so when they spin the move (displace) the air.


When garbage disposer is turned on it hums and does not spin but if a stick is used to make it spin it then spins what is wrong?

I would say that either the bearings in the motor are worn out ,so the motor has a hard time turning. Or it may be that one of the motor windings (electric coils) is bad. I would replace the disposer.


How are slot cars made?

They have an electric motor inside, usually in the rear of the model car, which gets electric power from the 2 copper strips attached to the track that the car runs on. Underneath the front of the car are attached 2 brushes of braided metal mesh with wiring going to the motor. Once the track is electrified, the brushes (which must remain in contact with the track) complete the circuit allowing the motor to spin the wheels.


What is electric opener?

An electric can opener is a household appliance which uses electricity. It is powered by a motor which includes a permanent magnet so it can spin the same way consistently. It's blades spin so slice tin or can, open. It is usually found as well as used in the kitchen...
